This publication is also ava ilable from the TRB Publications Office. 16. Abstract The 111 citations in this Special Bibliography concern the involvement of the private sector in fixed-route transit and paratransit at a time when government support for public transportation is often declining while capital and operating costs are climbing. Until 25 years ago, the private sector was responsible for much of public transit in the United States. In the ensuing years, this situation has turned around completely. Now transit and government agencies are again look- ing to the private sector for possible solutions to some of their problems. The abstracts of technical reports and journal articles in this Special Bibliography are generated from the UMTRIS subfile of the Transportation Research Information Services data base and cover generally the period 1982 to 1985.

    NORTH DAKOTA SCHOOL BUS DRIVER’S GUIDE MARCH 2015 EDITION DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Kirsten Baesler, STATE SUPERINTENDENT Bismarck, North Dakota 58505-0440 2 A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Over 40,000 students are transported each day to North Dakota schools in school buses. The safety of these students and the efficiency of a district's transportation program depends on the dedicated men and women who accept the important responsibility of driving our school buses. This publication is the thirteenth edition of the handbook for North Dakota school bus drivers. We hope that this handbook answers many questions and gives school bus drivers the necessary guidelines to perform effectively and efficiently. Driving a school bus involves much more than merely driving a vehicle on the highways. The school bus driver must also be responsible for the safety and welfare of children, must be teacher by example, must promote good public relations, and must understand how to properly use and care for the school bus, a complex and expensive piece of equipment. The purpose of this guide is to provide each school bus driver with the basic information needed to develop the skills, attitudes, and knowledge that result in safe and efficient driving. It is my sincere hope that each of North Dakota's school bus drivers will study and properly apply the information presented in this guide to assure a safer transportation program for our students. Driving a school bus is one of the most important jobs we have in our school systems. You carry our state’s most precious resource.

School children travel to and from their schools by a variety of modes including school buses, private vehicles, carpools, public and private transportation providers, bicycles and on foot. School buses are the safest mode of transportation to and from school in the United States.1 According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 450,000 public school buses travel approximately 4.3 billion miles to transport 23.5 million children to and from school and school-related activities.2 On average, 20 school-age children die each year in school bus–related crashes or incidents.

  • Free Public Transport for Students Bill 2020
    Sponsor: Coburg High School A Bill for an Act relating to Free Public Transport for all Victorian Students Bill 2020. To be enacted by the YMCA Victoria Youth Parliament; Free Public Transport for Students Bill 2020 A Bill for an Act for the provision of free public transport for all Victorian primary, secondary tertiary and TAFE students. Each day of the academic year school students across Victoria use public transport to commute to their places of learning. In instances where students do not have access to sufficient funds to pay for their journeys, this travel is fraught with undue stress as they risk receiving fines. This Bill was created to relieve the stress of students who do not have access to Myki cards, potentially due to coming from lower socioeconomic status. This Bill acts to remove the pressure on students who risk being caught without a Myki card. The implementation of this Bill will ensure all Victorian students are non-discriminately empowered to commute to their places of learning every day of the academic year. Sponsor: Coburg High School PART I—Preliminary Clause 1 Purpose The main purposes of this Act are— (a) to maximise the accessibility of education for all Victorian students; (b) to relieve students of the economic stress of funding transport to their places of learning; (c) to encourage the use of more environmentally friendly means of travel. Clause 2 Commencement This Bill shall commence upon receiving assent from the Youth Governor of Victoria. Clause 3 Definitions In this Bill, we define the following to
